I learned to piece the top...
...make a quilt sandwich and "stitch in the ditch"...
...and cut, attach, and hand sew the binding.
So, this one's for you, my sweet new nephew, Jonah. Something created with love from your Grandma Karen and Aunt Tracy.

jonah's quilt
In a record sewing month (for me), I've completed my first quilt, using fabric from my mom's stash. Thankfully, she had already cut the squares and some were even sewn together. It was a great first project.

Tracy, your quilt is amazing! I love how the "stitch in the ditch" made sort of a shadow of the front on the back.
Thanks, Alissa. I am so glad that I pushed myself to learn how to quilt and even complete it in time to meet Jonah.
